Dreaming of a road trip

I am a little unwell at the moment but trying to get myself back to full health quickly! I'm planning a road trip very soon. I hear Byron Bay is beautiful but I have never been. Have you? If you have any recommendations of what to see and do whilst there please do let me know.

It is important I think to escape the day to day whenever possible to recharge, recoup and re-inspire. I am always on the lookout for inspiration around me. It is not unusual for me to say things like "look at the beautiful typography of that sign" or "the rust on the side of that building has created an interesting pattern" and at times it is met with strange looks! However, sometimes my surroundings become too familiar to me and I no longer see the detail so it is good to go away and come back with fresh eyes.
